New Shakespeare Theatre
Cedar City, Utah
On 16 February 2012, the Utah Shakespeare Festival announced plans to build a $26.5 million Shakespeare theater on 200 West, between Center Street and College Avenue. The new 900-seat theater will feature amenities missing from the current Adams Memorial Shakespearean Theatre, such as public restrooms and a backstage area. A retractable roof will expand the season and allow for possible year-round usage. The playhouse will allow for additional performances, which will draw an additional 30,000 patrons to Cedar City and increase the economic impact of the Festival by an estimated $8 million annually.

Box Elder News, 16 February 1911, page 1
An extra fine program will be put on at the Gem Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of the next week. In addition to the excellent regular program, a fine quartette will be in attendance each evening. The proceeds will go to assist LeRoy Hamson in the erection of a home. Come out and help the good cause along.
